Sawfly (Tenthredo basilaris)

Larose Forest

The sawflies are a primitive wasp in the Hymenoptera. However, they do not have the 'wasp waist' of others in the Order Hymenoptera, and they cannot sting! this one is on one of the native Meadowsweet plants (Spirea).

Beautifully shot macro...no wonder they look a bit like wasps, I like that they have not developed the stinging ability. V
